Congratulations to Otto and Ryan who both tied in the voting thread a couple of weeks or even months back. I can't remember haha.
Golden Hour - Cactus by Ryanweaver419, on Flickr
Ryans shot really emphasizes the spikes on the cactus and I like the bokeh you have achieved by getting in nice and tight. The composition could be better, the cactus is a bit cut off and I think it would be better taking the photo from the front, so you don't have such a huge contrast between exposures. Good work.

Otto, the film man, once again has provided us with a photograph which has great composition, colour and a nice chilled out feel. Good on ya' mate.
This Week:
All photos this week have to be a panorama (Whether it be a cropped panorama or stitched panorama)
Don't just think that the assignments are just dedicated to dslr's or P&S's. You can use your phone, ipod or tablet. There are many apps out there that allow you to take panoramas.
Check out these videos to learn how to create a panorama.
